I know some of you reading this will find it hard to believe, but once upon a time the cover of a vinyl record was a major selling point to the album.

1 Marquis de Lafayette was a French general who played an important part during the Revolutionary War. 2  He helped the colonists against the British. 3  He volunteered his time and money to help the Americans.
Lafayette remained at Washingtonâs side during the harsh winter at Valley Forge in 1777 and through to the conclusive battle at Yorktown in 1781. In 1779 the marquis named his newly born son Georges Washington de Lafayette in honor of the American revolutionary. Three years later, at the suggestion of Thomas Jefferson, Lafayette named his youngest daughter Marie Antoinette Virginie to honor both the French queen and the state of Virginia.
